Texarkana Museum of Regional History

TEXARKANA, Ark. -- The Texarkana Museums System and the Red River Center for Regional History and Culture are welcoming area residents to share stories of all kinds about the region's history.

The two organizations held an event on Saturday, conducting interviews with people to record these stories.

People of all ages and heritages were welcome to talk about anything in Texarkana and the region to be used for the museums' archives and exhibits.

"Some people believe that because they weren't at a historical event, or something of that nature, that their story isn't important, but it's the mundane, it's the everyday that we want," said Texarkana Museums System Executive Director Ana Willis. "And we will continue to take oral history even after today; your story is important, and we now have the resources to do this."
 
Anyone giving an oral history receives a copy of it for generations to come, to contribute to their and their family's legacy. 
 
Contact the Museum of Regional History to schedule an interview for your oral history story.
